Passing The Torch

Today I have met an angel,

a messenger sent by God.

She reminds me that I’m still alive.

I know her, I always have.

We embraced and kissed,

finally reunited once again.

Her soul is beyond an age lived on earth.

Her body however shows that she was just birthed.

Her wisdom was tangible;

 felt deep in my spirit.

Her eyes so familiar;

our souls connected - I could feel it.

For today I realized that my friends and loved ones are waiting for my return.

They chose to walk this journey beside me.

They hide their presence – I used to ask, “Why”?

Now I know it’s because they have been my guides.

They guide me ever so gently through life.

It’s not often you get to meet one face to face.

But today one of my closest friends from heaven gave me an embrace.

Welcome to earth!

Let your light shine and love all that you can.

The torch is passed and God has completed my plan.

It’s your turn now and time for me to hide.

I'm excited to say that today I am finally your guide!

AFRICA AND HOW YOU CAN HELP - THE 410 BRIDGE

Let me just say, I have experienced firsthand the community-wide gatherings in Kwambekenya. On our last day in the community, the children performed for us. They danced and praised God for sending the team and we also had a ribbon cutting ceremony for the three new school buildings that was donated and dedicated to the school. It was an amazing sight to witness. On that particular day it was our coldest and rainiest day. We all gathered and sat in the cold weather and just as we were finishing the presentation it started to pour down raining. What I saw after that brought tears to my eyes! The beautiful people of Kwambekenya started singing (always praises to God) and dancing in the rain!!!! It was beautiful! I cried and cried and cried as I witness what TRUE community looks like. One of the teachers asked me, "What do you think?". I could barely get my words out because I was crying so much. My tears were from realizing how we in America have lost that sense of community. Neighbors looking out for neighbors, children looking out for other children, everyone putting their little resources together to help ALL in the community survive. ALL of this while giving God the glory, honor, and praise. Man did not do this, The 410 Bridge did not do this.......GOD alone did this through his grace, mercy, and loving kindness for ALL of his people. The support given to Kwambekenya is God speaking to the hearts of men to go and visit, build relationships, give, help, and support.

Luke 6:38-40 (KJV) Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

I won't ever complain again! I have seen the glory of God manifested in Kwambekenya! Be happy for what God has blessed you with and never again focus on what you don't have!

I love and thank you for your prayers, support, and generous hearts! God bless us all.

“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” Mother Teresa. The beauty of her soul shines through her smile. Can you see it? They are all so beautiful. #Imissthem **tears** MISSION TRIP KENYA
